Tominaga Eliminated by Petrangelo

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Daichi Tominaga
Daichi Tominaga

Daichi Tominaga made it 4,000 to go in the cutoff and he was called by Adrian Mateos on the button. Nick Petrangelo in the big blind then three-bet to 25,000 and Tominaga four-bet to 57,000, forcing a fold from Mateos and earning a reluctant call by Petrangelo.

The duo headed to the {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop on which Petrangelo's bet of 30,000 resulted in a call by Tominaga. Both then checked the {k-Spades} on the turn and Petrangelo then moved all-in with the covering stack on the {q-Spades} river.

That sent Tominaga into the tank and he used three time bank extensions before calling it off for the 163,000 he had behind. Petrangelo tabled the {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for the top two pair and Tominaga's {k-Clubs}{10-Spades} were briefly exposed as well.

Mateos Leaves Mulder on Fumes

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Teun Mulder
Teun Mulder

Sam Grafton raised to 4,000 and Adrian Mateos then three-bet to 22,500, which was cold-called by Teun Mulder while Grafton got out of the way. The {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop brought a bet worth 15,000 by Mateos and Mulder stuck around.

After the {4-Hearts} turn, Mateos bet another 60,000 to earn a call and opted to check the {a-Spades} on the river. Mulder then moved all-in and was snapped off by Mateos with the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for aces full as he had to flip over {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} for a move gone wrong. Both stacks were counted and Mateos doubled for 146,000 to leave Mulder on fumes.
